Cloud Storage

Edit 14 …

Below you will find some of the most popular cloud storage sites. The concept of cloud storage allows users to store files of any type including movies and music on web-based storage sites that will automatically sync with all devices. Users no longer have to worry about which computer they are using when everything is stored in the cloud and can be accessed on any device. If you don't have a cloud based storage service you need one. Look to see if one or more of these will work for you.
